TW: depression, dissociation, mentions of suicide (though not staying dead)
“Come sit,” Voldemort advises.
Harry swallows around nothing. His throat is aching and tight, like he’s smashed at the glass that sits between himself and the rest of the world, but instead of shattering it he’s just earned new shards to swallow down. He's shaking. 
Harry is used to stillness. Stillness didn’t lend towards attention, but just because he notices he’s tremoring doesn’t mean he can stop it.
“Can’t,” he chokes out. Did he kill himself wrong? He aches.
Maybe he’d jumped from the Astronomy Tower again? Maybe his vertebrae are all out of whack from falling, but he didn’t actually manage to kill himself properly, and now—
“You’re fine,” Voldemort tells him impatiently, but somehow it’s not unkind. He grabs him by the wrist and hauls him through the blackness around them, until there’s a plush, familiar carpet under his bare toes and he’s pressed into his seat.
“Voldemort...” he says vaguely.
The form over him stills. Tom Riddle’s face peers down at him, eyes dark. Confused.
Harry’s never called him that before. But he is, isn’t he? Tom Riddle is Voldemort. The little boy who’s only belongings in the world burned before his eyes is the Dark Lord.
“Yes,” says Riddle. Then, “No. Not… yet.” 
“Voldemort is my past, present, and future, Harry Potter…”
“Okay,” Harry agrees. Everything is odd and muted and he’s surprised any words are actually falling from his lips, because the glass has cut up his throat and it shouldn’t be possible to speak through all the blood he’s choking on.
A hand brushes his hair away from his forehead. His scar aches. Riddle hisses faintly. He sounds very far away, though Harry is vaguely aware of the warmth of his touch. 
“What did we do to you now?” He doesn't sound like he's expecting an answer, and Harry isn’t giving it.
Tom Riddle is so very self-centered. Egocentric. 
This isn’t about him at all, except in the ways that it is, because doesn’t everything always come back to this? Harry and Voldemort, who is Tom Riddle, who lives in his Sanctuary and is only sometimes Horrible.
“Are you a ghost?” he asks nonsensically. 
There’s another hand on him, suddenly, and Harry’s body flinches from the contact despite how distant he feels. Marvolo is at his side. He hadn’t noticed him.
“You know what we are.”
“Yeah,” Harry says numbly. “Me too.”
His hand comes up again, and he claws absently at his scar until his fingers are pried away. Beside him, Marvolo inhales sharply. Riddle ignores him. They’re probably fighting again. Or still? Are they ever not fighting?
Nobody hates themselves like Voldemort, except maybe Harry Potter. 
“So you realized,” Riddle says. Harry finds that odd.
Realized, like it was new. Like Harry hasn’t known since he was fourteen. 
“Of course,” he says from a great distance. Is it funny that they didn’t think Harry had? That they needed this confirmation, somehow, when it has been so obvious for years? What’s wrong with him, he wonders.
What’s right with him?
He flexes his hands almost absently. Papers appear in his grasp. Harry stares at the pages blankly. His eyes trace the words but he absorbs nothing.
“‘Dissociation,’” Riddle reads upside down.
The word shatters against the thick film that coats Harry’s reality. He recognizes it. He knows what the papers say. He knows what he’s done.
It’d never been accidental before.
He lets the pages slip through his grasp, and as they fall to the ground he watches them begin to burn. The ash disappears as it’s created, none of it touching the rug. Smoke gathers, and Harry inhales deeply.
His lungs protest. He exhales, a bit more present.
He opens his fingers, observing the crescents that his nails have bitten into his skin with a vague intrigue. Ice appears in his palms with a thought.
Harry stares at the cubes as they melt, then tilts his hands and lets them drop. They, too, disappear before touching the rug.
Harry is real again. Or maybe he was always real, and it’s just that he’s present, now. He looks at Riddle, hovering in front of him, a furrow between his brow. 
“I asked if you were a ghost,” he says, a bit amused by this. 
“Yes,” Riddle agrees.
“‘Not yet,’ huh?” Harry murmurs. It’s far different than his answer had once been.
Riddle pauses for longer this time, then agrees. “Not yet.” 
Harry hums noncommittally. His eyes meet Marvolo’s sharp gaze. His eyes are hungrier than Tom’s, ever-eager to devour more. Harry hadn’t thought a soul could get more greedy. He wishes faintly for the days he could pretend that hunger was for a meal, or for magic, or for life. Marvolo is more ravenous for Harry than any of that, though.

I want a Tomarry M3GAN AU. But with a twist. Modern Day AU obviously.
Imagine something happens to the Dursleys in the summer after Year 3, so Harry ends up in foster care and the whole shit show that is, right? And the foster parent isn't really ready to be a parent but has the ability to provide a stable life so they're still a decent choice to care for Harry. And it turns out they're into robotics and shit, and are creating an life-size AI doll capable of taking care of a child in place of a busy parent.
So they choose to test this doll on Harry, who is a teen, NOT a child thank you very much. Its name is TH0MAS.
Topical Humanoid 0rganic Model Android Simulation
Unfortunately, it's a very pretty doll within Harry's age range and it very nice and understanding, willing to listen where no one else does.
Well, it turns out that after the CoS events, he didn't destroy the Diary Horcrux, it just hitched a ride for the time being. And now, with an effectively human body that is capable of existing without needing oxygen, food, or sleep, it has a new vessel it can use to get revenge... and then it gets obsessed because a soul taking over a sentient robot whose only goal is to keep its boy happy and safe kind of conflict and technically it's only half a soul so it's not that powerful yet. Plus, it's now inhabiting a body without magic and that magic would cause to malfunction if used near it, so he's kind of stuck with conflicting data and having to pretend to be sentient and a glorified doll at the same time.
All cuz I was thinking of how interesting M3GAN was and what a Tom version of Megan would do with Harry when inhabited by Tom Riddle's stray soul piece.
I love AUs.

One pet peeve of mine is when Harry is portrayed as this golden retriever good boy who is so patient and sweet, no, Harry is kind and empathetic but he’s also a feral child. Harry is traumatized, hot-headed, impulsive, and has a big mouth that frequently gets him in trouble. His life could be (and has been) on the line and he still is physically incapable of restraining himself from back-talking The Dark Lord because he is a half-crazed boy living off only grief rage, dumb luck, and a hero complex.

theo putting together a survey to see the commonalities b/w harry and tom. but he can't get harry to fill it out w/o sneaking off and getting blitzed on booze. (we're not underage! / you're right, potter. cheers!) tom and the slytherins don't get what's going on the next morning. all they know is that apparently evans is tom's soulmate, "the survey doesn't lie," "you even wrote that he was fit, you did that on your own," and evans's late-night mutters about killing nott have increased.
I think something like this would be a group project amongst the 7th year Slytherins that Theodore gets reluctantly dragged into and unfairly blamed for once Harry finds out about it.
If anyone was to start these little observations of Tom and Harry’s similarities it makes more sense that it would come from Tom’s inner circle. Because they’re all watching Harry anyways per Tom’s request and they just happen to notice several instances where Tom and Harry are moving completely in sync. Maybe Malfoy sees Harry and Tom drink their coffee at the exact same time, holding the cup the same way, and position the handle down to the same degree afterwards. Then maybe Burke notices Harry twirling his wand like Tom in class, then Tom brushing a strand of hair from his eye with the same hand movement as Harry. Then Walburga notices a similarity in their dueling, Cygnus takes note of the brother wands, Druella says they both have an fond of snakes, and one by one a list starts to form.
The reason Theodore gets involved would because he sees some benefit in it helping him understand why they came to this time and this universe. I can see that after he successfully rules out any fault on his end, he would zero in on this weird bond between Harry and Tom as an explanation. His interest is purely academic, whist the others are trying to enjoy some pippin hot tea.

Despite Oliver's reaction, they went with Harry's plan.
Slytherin still took the House Cup thanks to Tom's efforts but at least he got a cute bf out of it.
Oliver: We need to take the House Cup, which means removing Tom Riddle as a threat! Any ideas? Ron: Murder! Hermione: Studying! Harry: I can seduce him! Oliver: *yeet*
(pls don't let this flop, drawing over the original took half an hour with the mouse pad on my laptop, my hand hurts.)

this (previously a sketch) has been sitting in my file for WEEKS- I wasn't happy with it at first but I was hesitant to delete it. Today I finally encouraged myself to fill it out with colours and shade it properly instead of being sloppy. In the end I feel like it paid out so I'm extremely happy (─‿‿─)
This is how I see Voldemort and Harry when I read fanfics (also I don't remember where I've seen Vee's eyes described as raging inferno but I wanted to replicate it ✍(◔◡◔))
